It’s the brainchild of Thierry Langlois, the french stylist who’s previously steered the collections of Lanvin, YSL and Thierry Mugler.

OK, so in reality it’s not that much like the famous movie motorcycle, but it is done well and is one of the most delicately finished customs we’ve yet seen on the XJR1300. What do you think? Do you like this?
